DISPLAY-STAND FOR VEILS.

Specification of Letterslatent.

Patented Mani, 1921.

Application filed December 26, 1919. Serial No. 347,518.

This invention relates to an improved display stand for veils which is of simple construction, inexpensive to manufacture, readily manipulable by the user and effective in use for the purpose of displaying veils of different kinds in attractive manner without requiring the handling of the veils.

In a device of this character, it is necessary that the stand shall be of simple and inexpensive constructionl and may be folded into compact form for shipment while readily adjusted by an unskilled user in setting up without requiring the exercise of any particular skill in manipulating the parts by which the stand is placed in proper display condition. Aside from these practical considerations it becomes important to provide a display stand which shall permit the article, such as a veil, to be displayed in attractive form and which shall permit dierent specimens of the article to be shown to. a customer in a convenient manner and without requiring the handling of the articles which are to be sold. For instance, it is now the common practice in selling veils for the customer to look over and handle Va great number of veils in the effort to select card mounted in position thereon.

Fig. 2 is a view in side elevation of the stand, shown in Fig. ll and showing the,

supporting devices for the stand and the relation of the various display cards and envelops.

Fig. 3 is a plan view larger scale ofthe stand shown in Figs. 1an-d2.

The body of the improved stand which may be made of any suitablematerial, such as card-board, comprises generally a vertical portion a having a base portion 0.', preferably integral therewith, andbent at yright on a somewhat angles thereto. The extent of the angular movement between the base portion a and the verticalnpor'tion a .mayv be conveniently limited by meansof cords b or the like which pass through said two portions, and have their ends secured in any convenient manner to the reverse ,faceof one of said portions a, the ends being indicated in the drawing atb. To the'vertical portion a of the body of the stand are secured a series of pockets c, which may be made up of any convenient cross sectional contour, as illus` tilting the pockets c andfthese strips after being passed through two such adjacent slots a2 may be united, as by pasting, at the front Vwall of each pocket c, as indicated at c. 'A convenient lform of pocket is one having a horizontal lower edge, indicated at c2 in Fig. 2,'whi'ch extends just above the hase portion a of the stand, and an inclined upper edge, such as c3, to permit convenient display and removal of the envelops ai in which the veils or other articles to be sold are placed. The pockets c are all somewhat flexible at the points at which they enter the slots a2 so that they may be `v swung outwardly and rearwardly until they assume positions in substantial parallelism to the vertical portion a of the stand. vWhen thepockets are in this position it is evident that the base portion a may be swung upwardly and pressed toward the vertical portiona, the result being a very compact package for shipment.

The Ypockets c 'may be held in proper resition.

lation to the 'vertical portion o by strips e of suitable material, such as paper or cardboard, pasted over the sections orA the pocket Which pass rearwardly through the slots a2, and joined with the rear tace of Ythe vertical portion a of the stand. Gn the rear tace ot the stand is also pasted astrip ,t of suit able material, such as paper or cardboard,

which may serve to secure the ends ZJ or" the cords in position and is so formed by folds as to comprise a pocket, indicated generally at g, fora purpose which will be later described. The ends of the strip are overlapped and united, as at 7', one end being bent at right angles adjacent this line oi" union to torni a folded prop f2 for the stand. W'hen the stand is folded up, as for shipment, the prop f2 Will lie snugly along the reverse face ol' the strip f. `When the stand isset up, the prop will be swung rearwardly to the position'shown in F ig. 8 and held there by means oi a tongue f3 which may. be cut from the strip f, but be niovable along a line of told extending at right angles to the line of fold ot' the prop f2. rlhis tongue swings Within an opening ft cut in the prop g and has a linger f5 out on its periphery to move along the tace of the prop f2 and hold the prop against movement when the tongue is in a horizontal po When the tongue f3 is swung up into snug engagement with the rear tace ot the strip f, the finger f5 registers with. a curved portion 7" eut in the opening f4, thereby permitting the prop f2 to swing about its line oi' fold into snug engagement With the reverse face o1c the strip. ln torming the tongue f3 it will be conveniently cut directly in the strip adjacent theline of fold of the prop f2 so that the opening f4 in the prop kwill contorni in exact outline to the tongue and the tongue WillA lie Wholly Within this opening when the prop is folded against the reverse tace of the strip f.

The pocket g carried on the reverse side oi the vertical portion a of the stand serves as a container for a series'of display cards, indicated generally at h', and on each ot these cards may be carried a veil, the style number of which is printed on the tace or" the l.ca-rd. In the vertical portion a are also cut out'ears e3 which are in such relationship as to receive and hold one such display card, as indicated at h in Fig. l. The pockets c on the 'front of the display card are numbered to correspond with the style numbers oi the various veils which may be displayed and the envelope in each pocket contain veils corresponding in style to the veil which is displayed on the card supported in the lugs a3 and bearing a corresponding number. r

From the description given the advantages in structure anduse of the improved stand will be appreciated. The parts are few in number and are securely and permanently `fastened together. rThe initial cost olf manuiacture by reason ot the simple relation oi parte 1 the ease of securing them permanently in position is very little. lllien the stand to be shipped the pockets c are pressed baci; against the iront face the vertical portion i and the base a is l up into snug engagement With the and the vertical portion. The f3 is swung upwardly against the ot' the strip and the prop f2 s the rear tace Yot the strip.

ge in this knocked-down form is llhen received by the user the ^-r method tor setting it up is obvious and no specialA manipulation oi separable parts is required. The base a is swung downwardly and the pockets c swung toryylly to the poel ons shown in Fig. 3. 'lfhe prop ft2 is inoveo. to position at right P'les to the vertical portion fr. of the stand the ue is swung downwardly into horizontal position so as to lock the prop fired relation to the stand. Envelope ing` the veils to be sold are placed the various pockets according to the style number and a like number of display cards having veils secured thereon are placed in the poclet g at the rear of 'the stand, such cards in reserve being normally` out ot view. @ne card, such as 7i may be supported on the lugs f1.3 so as to afford an adequate display ot a veil to a prospective customer. 10o liierent display cards /thaving different i lin'ds ot' veils thereon may be readily interchanrf'ed with the card it so as to shovv the customer quickly all ot the styles in stoclr. After the customer has selected the style 10E desired from observing the veils on the display eards It, t, anenvelop containing a veil of the eine style may be Withdrawn fromV that pocket c which bears the same stvle number as the display card. This aia quick and convenient means of se- --ting the veil and receiving one in good .ition properly packaged. lt elimiusual disorder confusion re troni laying out a great number of` 1 s Von the counter and their possible soiline or injury. Further, it saves the time oi: che sales agent in returning such veils to proper place in stock.

T he novel features have been pointedout in detail and the elements will be set out in the appended claims in such combination to indicate the scope ot the invention.
